I was considering "Parasitic Bustard," "Patagonian Buzzard," or maybe "Pampas Bullfinch."

I tried to think of any northwestern birds that might be abreviated PABU, but couldn't think of any. It seems like an exciting sighting (even though it is a female). I'd like to encourage people to continue to spell out names (this one would take 11 more charachters for the whole message including both text and subject line) so that Tweeters can continue to be accessable and easilly readable for the majority of subscribers that don't read code and the rest of us that haven't memorized code for birds not normally seen in the tweeters area.

If we want to have more people loving nature, advocating for it and stewarding it I believe we should strive to make it accessable to a maximum number of people. I would continue to encourage people to minimize the degree to which people may become intimidated by not understanding our language.

Greetings All

I just received the following message.

I thought I would pass along info on a female Painted Bunting currently visiting a feeder in Brentwood Bay just north of Victoria. ...
